Default Best way to get Radio 3?

I
I guess it depends on what bothers you. I find even the tiniest bit of
dynamic compression immensely irritating - much more so than the
little glitches from satellite bitrates, which frankly I have to
listen for.


Its not glitches its that horrible metallic sound get s tiring to listen
to after a while..

They
both get a clean,non-compressed feed. DAB is not desperately bad on R3
- certainly better than FM.


Beg to differ. Don't you notice the artefacts?. Not that I've anything
at all against digital transmission but if they do use an outdated codec
and chuck away information then what do you expect?.

Ever heard German or French radio via sat?...


I would dearly love UK DAB to be simply turned off, and relaunched
with real, up-to-date codecs, together with the assumption that all
future radios will be soft, so updates over the air are the norm.


I think.. That we can agree on that!.....
